Looks like political climate is very good to cultivate Stalin cult. Seems to me that Russian youngsters still don’t have proper education in their schools.

MONUMENT TO STALIN TO BE ERECTED IN YAKUTIA

YAKUTSK, March 30 (RIA Novosti, Pyotr Vasilyev) - Yakutia's deputies decided to erect a bust of Joseph Stalin in the city of Mirny's Victory Square on May 9.

The municipal administration said they made the decision after the mayor's office received numerous requests from local veterans and youth organization representatives.

"We could not leave a request made by participants in the Great Patriotic War, especially during the anniversary year, unattended to or satisfied. It is no secret that our front-line soldiers fought under the slogan 'For the Homeland! For Stalin!' I believe that the deputies were right in displaying their civic position," Anatoly Popov, Mirny mayor and chairman of the District Assembly, told the local media.

Mirny citizens have long questioned perpetuating the memory of Stalin. Polls on this theme were held among Mirny residents. The results of the polls showed that the number of those who back the veterans' proposal was greater. It is interesting that young people, too, actively supported the idea of erecting a monument to Stalin.

"Our grandfathers' opinions are sacred to us," said Alexander Derevyanko, a leader of the city youth organization My Generation and decorated with the Order of Courage.

Mirny officials said all the necessary work will be done shortly and a monument to Stalin will be put up in the city square on VE Day.

Try to erect a statue of any of the important commanders of the southern army during the civil war.

After you get your ass sued off, come back and whine about education in America.

Important people are important because they changed history.
Not because they were on the most envied RSVP lists.
